Stan Shaw Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Hello all, Here are some new pictures of my new frame built up. They were taken up at a very sunny Lee Mill Quarry last night before riding. Thanks to Ads for the pics. Love how the frame rides and looks. The geo is similar to the Echo, but I think the frame is a little more refined and I can now slam my seat which is good! This bike also feels super stiff now, especially with the Inspired forks. Video to come soon... Pics: Edited April 15, 2010 by Stan Shaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 "That bike's a piece of shit. What's the point in a 24" mountain bike with no brakes?" But nah, looks sweet Need to swing a leg over it/your mum some time soon and cop a feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) I really like it, perhaps not everyone will like purple and brown but i like it. Edit: I want your echo frame please? Edited April 15, 2010 by Duncy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Looks soild, front end geo looks more spot on than your previously owned Echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's pretty much identical - Stan's running an extra 10mm spacer 'cos the headtube's 10mm shorter than the Echo, but the rest of the spacers, fork length and bar/stem are identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It does look infinitely better. I still can't stand the look of the Echos and if they do ride pretty much the same as an Inspired, why wouldn't you get an Inspired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Cheers, i see the new 2010 ones are out which look good. I do need a bit of extra rise on my Inspired and i was thinking i could do with it being a cm or so shorter so could be ideal. I'm slightly dubious it might make it nasty for trials but that isn't a huge concern as i do less and less of that now and more and more...street riding. I can always stick it on my coiler if it doesn't feel so good. How have you found yours? Lovely for street and still ok for trials? Or does it feel very cramped?
